 I tried the netbsd-8 build from 201802262040Z and didn't have the
 problem.  I first encountered the problem with the netbsd-8 build
 from 201802271630Z.  I see only 2 commits between those 2 times,
 the one I suspected:
 
     To: source-changes%NetBSD.org@localhost
     Subject: CVS commit: [netbsd-8] src/sys
     From: "Martin Husemann" <martin%netbsd.org@localhost>
     Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2018 09:07:33 +0000
 
 and this one:
 
     To: source-changes%NetBSD.org@localhost
     Subject: CVS commit: [netbsd-8] src/doc
     From: "Martin Husemann" <martin%netbsd.org@localhost>
     Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2018 06:07:28 +0000

     Log Message:
     Ammend ticket #587: additionally xform_esp.c r1.77 has been pulled up.
 
 
     To generate a diff of this commit:
     cvs rdiff -u -r1.1.2.132 -r1.1.2.133 src/doc/CHANGES-8.0
 
 I considered the former commit more likely, as it looks pretty involved
 and it affects memory allocation.  Are you suggesting that I try
 to build a netbsd-8 from the current tree with the suspect change reverted?
 If not, what are you suggesting?
